Frank Vogel is drawing plenty of heat for not having Roy Hibbert in on the final play to protect the rim while up a point. I decided to look at this play over and over again to find out exactly why LeBron was able to get such an easy look at the rim.
First off the play designed possibly by Erik Spoelstra was perfect. LeBron was isolated at the elbow which is proving to be the most dangerous position on the floor is surrounded by shooters. That’s exactly what the Heat did.
When LeBron received the pass Paul George closed out rather recklessly and appeared to take the wrong side of LeBron.
Upon further review that is understandable because LeBron walked.
